FEYSVILLE: GRANT OF MINING LEASE M26/846
Astral Resources NL (ASX: AAR) (Astral or the Company) is pleased to advise that Mining Lease
26/846 (M26/846), part of the Feysville Gold Project, has been granted. As outlined in blue in Figure 1,
M26/846 includes the Think Big and Rogan Josh Deposits.
Astral intends to immediately commence work on applying for a mining lease to incorporate the
Kamperman Deposit. This process is relatively straightforward and is expected to be completed by
the June 2026 Quarter at the latest.
Importantly, the grant of M26/846 paves the way for Astral to progress the early production
opportunity at the Think Big Deposit (refer to ASX announcement dated 20 October 2025).

FEYSVILLE GOLD PROJECT
The Feysville Gold Project (Feysville) is located within the north-north-west trending Norseman –
Wiluna Greenstone Belt within the Kambalda Domain of the Archean Yilgarn Craton, approximately
14km south of the KCGM Super Pit in Kalgoorlie.
Significant gold and nickel mineralisation occurs throughout the belt, including world-class deposits
such as the Golden Mile Super Pit in Kalgoorlie owned by Northern Star Resources Limited (ASX: NST)
and the St Ives Gold Mine south of Kambalda owned by Gold Fields Limited, as well as the substantial
Beta Hunt Gold Mine owned by Westgold Resources Limited (ASX: WGX).
Feysville hosts an MRE of 5Mt at 1.2g/t Au for 196koz1
of contained gold at the Kamperman, Think
Big and Rogan Josh deposits. The Mandilla PFS demonstrated that Feysville is a valuable source of
satellite ore feed for a future operation based at Astral’s flagship Mandilla Gold Project, contributing
3.7Mt at 1.1g/t Au for 132koz towards the production target of 1.41Moz2
.
Locally, Feysville has been interpreted to contain upthrust ultramafics, emplaced within a sequence of
volcanic sediments (the Black Flag sediment group), granitic intrusions, mafic basalts, gabbro and
andesite.
A map of the Feysville Gold Project identifying tenements and deposits/prospects on local area geology,
as well as the newly granted Mining Lease, is set out in Figure 2.
